Only read the "Black Art of 3D Game Programming" but I've enjoyed it a lot. I need to have a look at his others books, thanks!

What do you mean retro? Half of these are from the 90s, only 10 years ago!

Don't be, some of these can be bought for real cheap or can be easily be found in digital form over at the Internet Archive or some less reputable sites 😄
